Hey all, I recently purchased a router. This meant a bit of rejuggling of my network. Prior to this, I had good internet access when booted into my LFS system.
Now in LFS, access to the internet keeps crashing. For instance, when trying to wget a file, the download will stop partway through. At this point, if I ctrl-C out of wget and then ping google, the ping will hang. Ping will still hang even if I ping by ip instead of by name. However, I am able to ping everything in the local network. Restarting the network with `/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart', restores the ability to ping externally, and I can resume the wget download. However the latter quickly stops again. I don't believe the problem is with either the router or the internet connection. When I boot into Ubuntu, I have full internet access. My laptop also has full internet access through the router. The laptop can also wget the same file that LFS stalls on, without any problems. This implies I need to fix something with my settings in LFS. However, I'm not sure what. The setup I have at the moment is that the router assigns itself the address 192.168.1.1, and it statically assigns 192.168.1.2 to the desktop. In my /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig-eth0 directory, I've tried using both dhcpcd and ipv4-static as methods for connecting to the router. Both appear to work initially, and proceed to reproduce the same problem. I would really appreciate any ideas on how to get things working nicely again. Thanks for your time.
